Grill Your Ace Off event raises funds for humane society

Locally owned and operated Ace Hardware of Fort Collins raised $1,214 for the Larimer Humane Society at its annual Grill Your Ace Off event, which was held June 25, and gathered local restaurants to participate in a friendly grilling competition. Throughout the day, chefs from 5280 Culinary and Ryan’s Sports Grill, as well as from Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, served up their signature grilled creations. Community members were invited to vote on the best creation by donating $1 to that restaurant. All proceeds were returned to the humane society, a local nonprofit that promotes and provides the responsible care and treatment of animals. Based on these donations, Ryan’s Sports Grill was named the Grill Your Ace Off winner.
